Python – Django value error: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for ‘inline.bundle.js’ runserver

When I run python manage.py runserver

Then I try to get the following error when I access my website locally:

File "/home/rickus/Documents/softwareProjects/211hospitality/suitsandtables/backend/virtualsuits/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/ staticfiles/storage.py", line 432, in stored_name
    raise ValueError("Missing staticfiles manifest entry for '%s'" % clean_name)
ValueError: Missing staticfiles manifest entry for 'inline.bundle.js'

What I don’t understand is why this file failed? This is from an Angular 6 project. What is the best way to debug this?

After running collect static, I can see the file in my static file directory, which from other posts is a white noise issue.

I used a traditional static file directory instead of white noise as a test, but the problem persists.

debug = false and STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage' == CRASH

debug = false and STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedStaticFilesStorage' == 200_ok

Also, make sure to update to Whitenoise v4+ and read the docs !
